Profile:
A fine wicket-keeper, and solid batsman often opening the
innings, Paul Gibb made a century on debut for Yorkshire (the
first amateur to do so), and followed this with 93 and 106 in his
first Test. Bespectacled, and in his later years balding, he was
mostly a defensive bat, taking few risks. After his career was
interrupted by the 2nd world war, he again played for England in
the 1946-47 Ashes tour, but retired on his return home, unable to
play as an amateur. He re-appeared in first class cricket four
years later, as a professional with Essex, and on his retirement
in 1956 became a first-class and Test umpire, travelling the
country in a caravan. He spent some time coaching in south
Africa, influencing the young Mike Procter, but on his death was
working as a bus-driver (Dave Liverman, 1998).
